COACHING
Grow Better Together
New groups launching in August 2023
WHAT IS MINISTRY BOOST COACHING?
Ministry Boost Coaching groups exist for leaders of Children's Ministry, Student Ministry, and NextGen/Family Ministry leaders (plus a new option!) coming together to:
- Share ideas
- Exchange resources
- Provide and receive accountability
- Learn from one another
All of it happens in the context of the community that is formed among the group. In fact, most people who have participated in a coaching group would say that relationships are the thing they valued the most.
WHAT ARE THE DETAILS?
Coaching Groups will meet for 5 months
Groups run from February through June
Calls will take place on Zoom every other week for 1 hour
The size of groups will vary with a max of 15 leaders
WHO IS IT FOR?
These new coaching groups are for anyone who serves in:
Children's Ministry
Youth/Student Ministry
NextGen/Family Ministry
+ ANYONE who wants to Recruit Volunteers
If you serve in any of those roles or if you need to recruit volunteers…

Most ministry coaching experiences cost between $1,800-$3,000. This is true for youth/student ministry coaching as well as other roles. In addition, there aren't many coaching groups for children's ministry and family/nextgen ministry leaders.
Ministry Boost coaching is designed to be much more affordable so more leaders can get access to coaching. We believe coaching + content gives leaders the best chance to develop their ministries.
Ministry Boost Membership is required along with Coaching, as we will lean on much of the membership content throughout the coaching experience.

FAQs
Is Ministry Boost Membership REQUIRED?
Yes, membership is required for Coaching participants. We'll actually use Ministry Boost Membership content throughout the coaching program to help you make strides in your ministry development.
Okay, so what is the total cost then?
Membership is $27/month. Coaching is $120/month if you pay monthly, so that's $147/month for 5 months ($735).
If you pay in full upfront, your total cost would be $450 for Coaching and $135 for 5 months of membership ($585), the equivalent of $117/month.
In either case, we hope you'll continue your membership after Coaching wraps up as you continue to build your ministry.
Can I split the cost up between two budget years?
Yes. If you have unused budget funds left and want to apply that before the fiscal year turns, you can do that and pay the balance out of next year's funds. Just email us at info@ministryboost.org.
Can multiple staff from our church participate?
Absolutely. In that case, make sure you get the Entire Staff Membership ($47/month) and register for coaching separately for each staff person. Let us know if you want to be in the same groups or not.
Will I have FOMO if I can't attend the in-person gathering?
Probably, but the in-person gathering is a bonus option and you won't need that experience to benefit from Coaching. If you're from a cold-weather area like Nick, you're definitely going to miss the Arizona weather.
Could there be an additional in-person gathering at the end?
